They are cheap to build. Let us know what ford say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budget between $3500-$5000 for a rebuilt box with extra clutch packs and a strengthened input shaft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully there's someone there that can help him out and get him going again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
